Setting up your Community
As OnClock is designed to work with Discord, you will need to have a Discord server set up before you can start using OnClock. You must be the owner of the Discord server (and therefore the community) or have the necessary permissions to manage the server. Specifically, you will need the "Administrator" permission on the Discord server.
With that in mind, let's get started by setting up your community in OnClock. Here's what you need to do:
Sign in to OnClock with your Discord account
- Go to the OnClock website at https://onclock.xyz/app.
- Click on the "Login" button and sign in with your Discord account.
Create a new community
- Click on the "Create Community" button.
- Read carefully the information displayed to understand the difference between a community and a service.
- Click on "Next" to proceed.
Set up community details
- Set a name for your community. (e.g. "Astra Gaming", "Ultimate Roleplay", "InovaRP", etc.)
- Select the language for your community.
- Select a time format for your community.
- Click on "Next" to proceed.
Select a Discord server
- Use the dropdown menu to select your Discord server.
A Few Things to Remember
- Only the Discord servers onto which you have the "Administrator" permission will be displayed.
- If you don't see your Discord server, make sure you have the necessary permissions.
- Click on the refresh icon to refresh the list of available Discord servers.
Invite the Discord bot (optional)
- Choose one of the options below:
- Invite the bot now into your Discord server so that services won't have to.
WARNING
Do not change the default permissions for the bot. By default, we only request the necessary ones.
- Do not invite the bot.
Invite the bot later when setting up a service.
- Choose one of the options below:
Save your community
- Click on "Save" to complete the community setup process.
Your community is now created. There are still a few steps left to do before you're able to use OnClock though. Continue by setting up your first service.
